Land Use A Long-Term Strategy That Must Begin
Now

• Land use strategies mostly impact new growth
  benefits accumulate
• Population 13 by 2020 40 by 2040
• Multiple benefits
• Options to increasingly expensive car travel
• More access to jobs, services, affordable housing
• Less land used more open space
• More physical activity improved health
• Improved water/air quality

Scoping Plan RecommendationRegional Targets

• Set regional transportation-related GHG targets
• In partnership with regional and local
  governments
• How are targets envisioned to be reached?
• Use Blueprint framework to create vision to reach
  targets
• Work to align general plans and RTP with
  Blueprint to reach target
• Establish enabling structure to support local
  actions

9
Enabling Structure for Local Actions

• Exercise State leadership
• Pursue funding sources and allocate effectively
• Improve measurement through partnerships
• Promote high-quality, low-impact communities
• Identify funding sources for local level GHG
  reduction strategies
• Adopt proven measures
• Amend CEQA guidelines to account for GHG
  emissions
• Conduct outreach and engage the public
